NO Book Sale this year

Due to construction, we will NOT be hosting the annual book sale.

Please let inquiring patrons know that we hope to host a book sale in the summer of 2013.

We will still take small donations, but will only take the amount needed to fill the sale shelf - we will not be storing any overflow donations. Please thank patrons for thinking of us.

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES LOWER PRICE!

The Golden Opportunities Coupon books are now on sale at the lower price of $15.
The price has increased from last year due to the company's final cost increasing.

Thanks and keep selling!

Bookmobile: Library Lovers Prize

Samantha N. has won the Bookmobile Library Lovers prize. The prize is at the Bookmobile department desk...there are several prizes there...this one has her name on it. It is a little teddy bear which is sitting on the restaurant gift certificate.

Please take care to hand out the correct prize. Thank you so much.

Coloring Contest

Coloring Contest forms are at the Circ desk. The winners will be announced at the Victorian Village Easter Egg Hunt. All details are on the back of the entry form. If you need more, a master copy is on the cabinet above the workroom sink.

We Need Your Opinion!

The architect had several different style of chairs brought over that we can sit on and give an opinion. The first set is made of wood and will be used at the patron tables throughout the library. The second group are task chairs for the computer area. Some of these task chairs lean back so try them out.

Please sit on them and give us your opinions. There is a sheet of paper behind each chair for your comments. The chairs should be here about a week. The wooden ones are in the workroom near the coffee pot, while the task chairs are in the meeting room.

Thanks for your help.

YS Director

I am pleased to announce that on May 17th Jody Olivieri will leave the bookmobile position and assume the role of YS Director. There will be a new type of synergy that we can look forward to.

Thank you for being a great team to work with during this exciting time of change!
